"Master, Sister Lian'er, this is the Tremella soup that I specially asked the kitchen to make for you. It's easy to get heaty if you just eat meat on the grassland." Lia personally brought in two bowls of soup.

He Chuan was still the same as before, smiling as he picked up the Tremella soup.

Cai Lian, on the other hand, was a little cold, not as close to Lia as she was before, and there was gradually a sense of distance.

Lia did not seem to notice this and continued to hang around them, not mentioning anything about the royal power.

In fact, He Chuan admired this disciple of his. At least she could hide her true self well so that she could maintain an advantage in the fight for power.

"Take these two bottles of pills back. Don't slack off on your cultivation. You'll become a half-step saint cultivator soon." After He Chuan knew the Imperial Advisor's goal, he could not let Lia fall behind. After all, whoever became the future King would bring benefit to their plans.

The system's products were definitely of high quality. Lia knew that He Chuan had given her good things and she could break through to the half-step saint cultivator realm as soon as possible. Wasn't that what she wanted?historical

"Thank you, Master." Lia gave him a kiss on the cheek and left the place happily with the pill.

"Our plan is in line with her ambitions. If there's anything Lian'er can't let go of, whether you can continue to be good friends with her depends on what you think." He Chuan said a few words of comfort and continued to drink his soup.

In fact, in his current realm, it was not a problem for him to go without food for a month. It was something that was not essential.

He would occasionally take a bite or two to warn himself that he was still a mortal.

But Cai Lian was purely eating for her desire for food.

As long as she saw food, she would not move.

It had to be said that the taste of the Tremella soup in the grassland was really good.

"Lian'er knows that what you said makes sense, but I can't get over it for the time being. Perhaps I'll be fine in two days." Cai Lian also knew that Lia had the right to choose her own future, and she had no right to interfere.

From the beginning to the end, she had been too short-sighted and did not expect Lia to be so ambitious.

She felt a little cheated.

"It's good that you can get over it. Aren't we lying to her too? It's a two-way arraw." He Chuan had the help of his divine eyes and could tell at a glance that Lia was not simple.

That was why he had thought of supporting Lia to become the future female King. If she was not cut out for it, he would not have wasted his efforts.

Just like the Third Prince, who seemed to be on par with the First Prince and the Eldest Princess, but in fact, all his cards had been seen through, and he had no right to inherit the throne.

Lia's biggest opponents now were the First Prince and the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Prince was supported by the mysterious Imperial Advisor, and the Eldest Princess was definitely supported by someone.

Did Tetumtan know this?

The situation of the Xiongnu Tribe was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Last time, Young Master said that the situation in the Zhou Dynasty was not optimistic. Are you not going to go back and help?" Cai Lian didn't bother about Lia's problem anymore and left it to time to solve.

She suddenly remembered that the Zhou Emperor was always indulged in beauty. At that time, he had mentioned that he wanted to go back.

"Lian'er, stay behind and cover for me. It'll take at most three days to come and go." He Chuan thought of Zhou Shimin's request in the secret letter, then about Cheng'an's failure to live up to expectations. He couldn't help but sigh.

Couldn't they just let him be less worried?

Besides, there were so many beauties in the Central Plains. He was really useless to be able to charm a few Western beauties.

Cai Lian had originally wanted to follow him back, but when she heard that she had to stay behind to cover for him, she was somewhat disappointed.

But she suddenly realized that the Xiongnu Tribe was so far away from the Great Zhou, and there was a desert in between, but it only took three days to go back and forth.

How was that possible?

"Is Young Master teasing me? How could the return trip be so short? it would take at least ten days to half a month." Cai Lian wanted to confirm if she had heard wrong. She had to make sure the time was right as a cover.

"Becoming a saint cultivator isn't the end. Every time you advance to the next realm, you'll find that the door to a new world is open for you." If He Chuan used all his strength, he would be able to return to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty very quickly.

He had come to see the changes in life, so he naturally couldn't go too fast.

This time, Cai Lian understood that He Chuan's realm was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

There was such a huge gap between saint cultivator.

......

The Great Zhou Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes recently.

Because the Emperor had issued the latest Imperial Edict, announcing the establishment of the supervision department.

The inspection department had the power to monitor the officials and the people of the world. They also had the right to act first and report later.

Countless scholars who criticized the Empress and the Emperor were arrested and sent to prison.

The self-restraint of scholars was higher than the sky. They thought that it would not be a problem to stay in prison for a few days. They might even gain a reputation and show that they were unyielding and not afraid of Imperial power!

However, when they entered the prison, they realized that things were different from what they had expected. The official who called himself the invigilator had already prepared all kinds of torture equipment and began to torture these weak scholars.

He was forcing them to admit to their crimes.

In the beginning, these scholars would rather die than submit, but the invigilator's methods were extremely cruel. If they didn't admit to their crimes, they would be tortured to death.

Skinning, cramping, and dismembering the body were all relatively easy punishments.

Falling into the hands of this group of people, the earlier they died, the better.

Otherwise, it would really be life worse than death.

Under such punishment, the scholar could only admit their guilt helplessly.

Where there was oppression, there would be resistance. Under the forced suppression of the Inspection Bureau, countless civil organizations began to emerge in various places, bound to overthrow the tyranny.

Scholars might not be good at fighting on the battlefield, but they were very good at inciting people's hearts and writing articles.

In addition to the forced selection of concubines, many people had begun to joined the Rebellion Army.

Very few people wanted to live an ordinary life. If they could kill their way into the capital, they would be able to get high positions and great rewards.

Is there anyone who is born to be a king, a duke, a general or a minister?

Faced with the Rebellion Army that had sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, the officials of various places were panicking and hurriedly sent the memorials to the palace.

But what they didn't know was that the memorials could no longer reach Emperor Cheng'an's hands.

Every day, Cheng'an indulged himself in the newly-trained beauties. In the beginning, in order to not delay his enjoyment, he would play with the beauties while getting Lana to read him memorials.

Of course, Lana only read what she wanted Cheng'an to hear, and filtered out everything she didn't want him to hear.

Later on, Cheng'an believed that the entire Great Zhou was peaceful, that the ministers could easily resolve this, and that he only needed to indulge in pleasure.

...

Princess Changning, Fang Yuanqing, and the other officials could no longer sit still. They had not expected Cheng'an to become like this.

He didn't even care about the basic state affairs, and the word prison was established in various places, causing the Zhou Dynasty to constantly deteriorate.

"Today, This Princess will cooperate with General Qin from the inside and outside to behead this demoness in public." Princess Changning clenched her fist and said.

"This Minister have an important matter to ask of you!"

After coming up with a plan, Fang Yuanqing suddenly knelt down.

"What are you guys doing? I'll definitely kill that demoness." Princess Changning was a little puzzled. Was there a need to be so exaggerate just to kill a person?

Even if they didn't kneel and beg, Princess Changning would still do her best to kill Lana. She wouldn't rest until she died.
